Abstract excerpt
The patched (ptc) segment polarity gene of Drosophila encodes a transmembrane protein involved in cell signaling that establishes pattern within the segment. In the posterior half of the parasegment Patched protein represses transcription of the wingless (wg) gene by an unknown mechanism. In the most posterior row of cells in each parasegment this repression is neutralized by a signal possibly carried by the...
